Hard to find a video that gives a feel for what the Allies really encountered on that momentous day. However, everyone knew what they were fighting for. Freedom, even if imperfect.
As I have mentioned many times, my father-in-law was part of the invasion force. He was at Omaha beach. That is about all I ever heard because he simply would not speak of it. You can understand why. But he knew why he was there. That he would speak of.
Now Republicans or MAGAs if you wish, have so perverted our system that our current president appears to be on the side of our enemies. The worst part is that half of America supports him and his ilk at lower levels.
As descendants of those who saved the world for democracy we get a chance to show that we are worthy of them next week.

You know what I mean and you know what to do!
